(a) Copper can exist as a number of isotopes. Some copper isotopes are unstable but are potentially useful for nuclear medicine. Complete Table 1.1 for two isotopes of copper. Table 1.1 isotopes protons neutrons electrons 63 29Cu 38 [2] (b) Tumbaga is an alloy of copper and gold. A sample of tumbaga was analysed and the composition of the isotopes present in the sample are shown in Table 1.2. Table 1.2 Mass number % abundance 63 56.4 65 x 197 18.5 (i) Determine the percentage abundance, x, of the species of mass number 65. [1] (ii) Hence, calculate the relative atomic mass, Ar, of the copper present in this sample of tumbaga. [1]

The percentage of mass of copper varies from 50% to 85%, depending on the properties needed in the alloy. A series of reactions is carried out in the laboratory to determine the percentage of copper in a sample of brass. 0.30 g of brass is dissolved in acid to give 100.0 cm3 of solution in which all copper is present as Cu 2+ ions. 25.0 cm 3 of the solution is transferred to a conical flask using a pipette and reacted with excess potassium iodide, K I. All the copper is precipitated as Cu I solid and iodine is formed. The iodine requires 21.50 cm3 of 0.0400 mol dm-3 S2O32- to reach the end- point of titrati
